BOULDER — In speaking to the team captain Tuesday, it sounds like he should be listed as “doubtful” at best.

Anthony Perkins has missed the past four games after suffering a high (left) ankle sprain Oct. 22 against Oregon.

“I’m doing everything I can to get back (on the field),” Perkins told me. “Hopefully, I’ll be in a position to play. If that’s not the case, I’ll be alright with that. God’s always in control. I know he has a plan. It’s obviously something that’s out of my control.

Perkins is regarded as the inspiration leader for the defense. But he hasn’t had much luck lately. He missed the last six games of the 2010 season after tearing an ACL against Missouri.

Through it all, he has remained up-beat and has served as another coach of sorts on the sideline.

“I’m going to do everything I can (in rehab) to play,” he said Tuesday. “If it happens, great. If it doesn’t, great.”
